SOMETHING is happening in Kumasi before the eyes of all residents, and which is a huge eyesore but very few people seem to talk about it.It looks like nobody not even the city authorities care about the malfunctioning of streets lights in the metropolis as virtual darkness engulf the streets in the night.Clearly one of the factors that go into making life in a community especially in the city interesting and worth living is the availability of electric power on the streets.Street lighting goes to bring life to the community and check crime among other benefits .Without power many activities cannot go on effectively and the residents and visitors would be the eventual losers.Quite disturbingly Kumasi is gradually being driven into this situation and the big question is why the authorities look on unconcerned as the situation worsens day after day.Just take a drive in the city in the night and you will realize the sort of mess that Kumasi finds itself.The first time visitor to the Garden City in the night would definitely be dumbfounded.I recently overhead two gentlemen discussing the way night life in Kumasi gad gone dead.They alluded the situation to a number of reasons including armed robbery and poor lighting system on the streets among others.

About Me

In here, I try to provide news and pictures of recent events and developments in the Kumasi metropolis, otherwise refered to as the Garden City of West Africa which happens to be Ghana's second largest city after Accra.
The metropolis is gradually expanding and a lot more suburbs are springing up. I'm just a little person who knows nothing. I'm here to share my thoughts, opinions, and learn from each one of you. Please take time to leave me a comment and note that my prayers are with you all. Peace.

Ghanablogging

Dodi Princess

A cruise on the Volta Lake to the Dodi Island located in the Volta region of Ghana. This was during one of my usual vacations where I went on a cruise with my pal - Boahene Asamoah (Daily Graphic, Accra) and a couple of friends. A cruise on the Lake Volta to the Dodi Island aboard the Dodi Princess Boat would enable you to discover Ghana as a country not only rich in culture, but full of natural scenic beauty. The boat cruise on the world's largest man-made lake (Volta) is an experience everyone needs to have. From there you could visit the Cape Coast slave trading fort in the Central region. Explore the forest canopy at Kakum National Park. Enjoy game viewing in Mole National Park. After all that, then come to KUMASI to delve into both modern and ancient West African cultures. Kumasi is the ancient capital of the Ashanti Kingdom. Observe drum, pottery and cloth making in traditional styles, and visit Manhyia Palace, home to the Ashanti King, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. This blog would try to feed you with news in the metropolis. CHEERS!!
